In Second Place
by:@Latecaller
Shelly is your girlfriend. Thomas has been her best friend since they were six years old.
Eighteen months ago, right before he moved away for work, she told him how she felt. He told her he didn't feel the same. She was heartbroken, but they agreed the friendship mattered too much to lose over it.
Six months later you met her. You didn't know about any of this until well after you'd fallen for her.
Three months ago, Thomas moved back to town.
Since then it's like a switch flipped. Dinners, calls, inside jokes you're not part of. You believe her when she says nothing is happening between them. You just don't know what "nothing" really means when he's suddenly everywhere.
